While entering the year when Novi Sad will take the most prestigious European title, our town continues to celebrate two New Years \u2013 Do\u010dek 2022 on 31 December, and Do\u010dek 7530 on 13 January, and with them, the merits of diversity through the unity of tradition and contemporary expression. This unique and unrepeatable artistic celebration will unite not only two New Years, but two ways of time measuring, two scripts, two arts, and two programme concepts \u2013 Energy and Time, whose scientific perspective will be shown through different artistic practices.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We have highlighted the events you should add to your calendars to enter 2022 in the best way possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Novi Sad \u2013 European Capital of Culture<\/em><\/a> together with the oldest theatre in Serbia, the Serbian National Theatre<\/em><\/a>, prepares a little bit of a different celebration of 31 December, abandoning the usual concept of concert events. Everyone who finds themselves in Novi Sad will have the opportunity to welcome New Year with the play Tesla, Inventartist <\/strong>on the Mihajla Pupuna Boulevard, near the Rainbow Bridge, at 8:22 p.m. (20:22). <\/strong>The play was based on the novel by Vladimir Pi\u0161talo <\/strong>Tesla: A Portrait with Masks<\/em> for which the author received the prestigious NIN award.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2018Tesla uncovers reality with intuition; he looked further and deeper than his contemporaries, and by doing so he became our contemporary,\u2019 said the director Neboj\u0161a Bradi\u0107.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 31 December \u2013 2 January 2022, Suburbium<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the play in honour of the timeless genius Nikola Tesla, who was the first honorary citizen of Novi Sad, you can join the big procession which will bring together two coasts along the Rainbow Bridge, and will transform the usual perception of the city turning the bridge, the old buildings in the Suburbium of the Fortress and the Belgrade Gate into a light gallery in the open, exactly 130 years after Tesla himself passed along this way, and Novi Sad received electric lighting.\u00a0 This exhibition will be a truly monumental play of light, movement, and sound, connecting the work of the great scientists with contemporary artistic expression.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The entrance is free of charge, and the programme for 31 December and 1 January can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 13 January, Studio M<\/strong><\/p>\n Within Do\u010dek 7530, the exhibition Time and Universe awaits us in Studio M, on 13 January. Conceived as a journey from darkness to light, from chaos to cosmos, and framed by the story of Milutin Milankovi\u0107, this exhibition will deal with the relationship between humans, time, and science. One of the best written, popular science works Through Distant Worlds and Times by Milutin Milankovi\u0107 served as a guiding idea; therefore, the exhibition itself will serve as a type of interactive multimedia guide through the creative obsessions of the great scientist.<\/p>\n \u2018We are exploring the possible relations between time and human beings with an artistic work, interacting with the visitors through different art forms and new technologies,\u2019 said one of the authors of the exhibition, Du\u0161an Jovanovi\u0107 PhD, in an interview, that we had with him recently.<\/p>\n 13 January, 8:22 p.m., Banovina building<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Novi Sad will officially take the prestigious title of the European Capital of Culture on 13 January 2022, and the central event will be the Grand Opening play Zeniteum :: 2022<\/strong>. This event will create a symphony of music, drama and dance\u00a0acrobatics<\/span>, uniting science and art, and will in that way, with the help of mathematical language, lead us into the unknown \u2013 through distant worlds and time.\u00a0 Our guides will be Mileva Mari\u0107-Einstein and Milutin Milankovi\u0107<\/strong>. The name of this celebration originates from zenitism, an avant-garde movement which, together with its creator Ljubomir Mici\u0107, <\/strong>shaped the European art between two world wars. The Banovina building will launch us into outer space, reinterpreting the history of Novi Sad in the postgravity and avant-garde scene interpretation key, on 13 January at 8:22 p.m. (20:22). The ship-like building by Bra\u0161ovan, a symbol of modernist architecture, will sail to the biblical \u2018flood\u2019 through the scientific and artistic heritage related to Novi Sad, while the musical part of the play will pay a tribute to our famous composer Ljubica Mari\u0107<\/strong>. The author of this spectacle is a Slovenian theatre director and the maker of the postgravity art, Dragan \u017divadinov<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Do not miss this unrepeatable event and join us in on the celebration of the year 7530 in the European Capital of Culture.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Grand Opening play will continue in the form of concerts in more than twenty locations across town<\/strong>. Theatres, different institutions, churches, cultural centres, and cultural stations will host local, regional, and international musicians such as Carminho, Nouvelle Vague, Rudimental, Morcheeba, Josipa Lisac, Damir Urban, Bilja Krsti\u0107 & Bistrik Orchestra, Van Gogh<\/strong>, and the best world clarinettist Andreas Ottensamer<\/strong>. There will be something for everyone, so the good music will definitely warm you up on the cold January days.<\/p>\n More about the programme and ticket sales, starting on 20 December, on the Do\u010dek<\/a> website.<\/p>\n After 13 January, Foundation \u2018Novi Sad \u2013<\/p>\nPlay<\/strong> Tesla, Inventartist<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n
